Wow, yet another turgid international is over, and the PL is on us soon. It has been a splendid season so far with so many teams looking good and for once, City looking a little vulnerable.
Looking at the fixture lists of this week-end coming, what are you hoping for in results terms and what do you see as maybe the surprise result possibly?
Liverpool v Everton
Bournemouth v Wolves
Brentford v Burnley
Man City v Brighton
Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Nottm Forest v Luton
Chelsea v Arsenal
Sheff Utd v Man Utd
MNF
Spurs - Fulham
I would like to see Chelsea-Arsenal, Liverpool derby and the two Utds all end in draw
Some intriguing games but hopefully, it works out to our benefit!
What you want?

The worst thing about International breaks is "the breaks"! They always happen to the best players.
Anyone know status of injuries to Son and Romero?

Last we heard they'll be ok to play but they're carrying knocks. Just need to get to that January window now!

I want a cut down on International football, it’s so faaacking boring and unnecessary.
Euros will have 32 teams in the finals from the tournament after the next and the World Cup has 48 teams. It’s getting close to the point where it’s almost impossible not to qualify for any half way average side. They could cut down on these crap fixtures easily.

This.
Just fack international football off generally during the season. Make the tournament's more knock out based if needed and you don't even need qualifying
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agree, I loath International football now. Most of it is pretty meaningless qualifying nonsense, where you know the teams that will go through before a ball is kicked.
Now I like Harry Kane, but he is padding out his stats with Penalties for England. He still has less England goals from open play than Jimmy Greaves, despite playing 30 games more.

I want a heavy loss for City, leading to Haaland announcing his immediate retirement from football.
I want Liverpool to score 10 legitimate goals which are all ruled out by VAR, and so they lose.
I want Saudi Arabia to sell Newcastle back to Mike Ashley.
I want Sheffield Utd to win by double figures.
I want Arsenal and Chelsea to explode in a ball of flames.
Would be happy with a 1-0 victory for Spurs.

internationals are like those jabs that you don’t want but you know you have to get them and go through with them
painful and inconvenient

Wishing for all the big teams to get draws will just make it more painful when refs and VAR stop treating spurs as a charity and they fall back down the table 😂
